David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
不知道什么时候才能看到内地上映版删减的6分钟。全世界的影视题材里，我们像一座孤岛～
接见过皇室，遇见过电影。也许这就是唐顿庄园越来越魅力的所在。一切都像传说一样神圣，很多东西就是越高级越高级。 不过对于没有看过电视剧的人来说，还是差一点意思。没有投入更多情感在这故事或人物上，体会就差一些！
没什么狗血剧情，平和欢乐。10多年了，也可以结束了。
哈哈哈怎会有如此开明、通透、幽默、优雅、可爱的老夫人
火炬从女性被传给女性，真的没法不爱唐顿这个善待每一个人的美好童话。很佩服编剧，回忆12年来所有的电视剧和电影剧情，Mary和祖母的相似真是呼之欲出：虽然渴望冒险，但一定不会背叛自己的原则和责任。美中不足的是马修·古迪的缺席啊，上一部迈着长腿冲上楼梯和Mary相拥的镜头我可以看100遍。
对这类新式仿古典通俗剧，演员发挥都四平八稳，实在没有多大兴趣，也就勉强可以看看
老奶奶去世的时候说：不要哭哭啼啼的，太吵了我都听不到我死的声音了～
每一次的开头都做好准备，但是老太太在众人环绕下安然离世的时候还是猝不及防红了眼眶。新生命的降临，新时代的接替，我们不断在和过去告别。
我太喜欢女明星那个大结局了，这才是真大团圆，口音并不代表什么，永远别忘了你和谁在一起，and also，穷人家的女儿无所畏惧。
十年唐家屯，这应该是句点了。这部剧伴随了我在英国的全部岁月，感情深到已经觉得每一个角色都像是身边的朋友，一切美好都投射在重聚的画面里，只要看到他们聚在一起，就想打五星了。一个个刻在心里的名字，交代了每个人的美好结局，是的，granny的离去也那么美好，A New Era，以无声电影向有声转变作为结束，仆人们坐在主人的桌上共演一场戏，还能有比这更令人fulfilling的收尾吗。
这次迎接电影剧组，创意是来自《古宅老友记》嘛？电影版一直在配对，连小厨娘、老厨娘、太太的贴身丫鬟，甚至巴罗都配上了，有点替老太太的贴身丫鬟可怜，唯一没成对，主人还去世了。
多重反讽
如果Downton Abbey能一直出下去我愿意给五星～多线并行最开始有点乱，但越往后越好看～我一直相信从骨子里就坏的人是很少的，人性的多面性也是如此令人着迷啊……又被提到的大表哥啊(｡•́︿•̀｡)
仆人都当上了“电影演员”看的很满足，故事很有趣，笑点看得也很舒服。
像老友叙旧，说起来也没什么大事，但聊着聊着还是唏嘘不已，慨叹时光流逝时代变迁，尤其默片到有声电影的转变。加一星给情怀。
影片从婚礼开始，到葬礼结束，末尾新生的宝宝又来到唐顿。人们总是来来往往，而我们也终将幸福地生活下去。
理论上唐家屯可以一直写下去，每个角色都潜力无限，本就完美的结局又叠了一层（我很喜欢但是不要再有下一次了）
鲍嘉式的Guy男一号
剧情太拖了….制作精良是真的….内心戏太多，推不动剧情
山猪的加盟契机过于突兀，其它的特点比如鬼的能力设置，bgm和画面一如既往的优秀。
